We show the best emerging artists in exhibitions throughout Maxon Mills, a seven-floor grain elevator in the heart of Wassaic. We also have public art on view throughout the hamlet.
Our 2023 Summer Exhibition, Counting the Seconds Between Lightning and Thunder, is on view through September 17!

Artist Residency
More than 100 artists-in-residence pass through Wassaic each year. We welcome visual artists, writers, musicians, dancers, filmmakers, writers, and everyone in between.
We're also proud to host one of the largest year-round family residencies in the world and an invite-only print editions program.
Our 2024 Summer Residency open call is live from 6/26 through 9/12!

Education
Our education program reaches thousands of students each year through summer camps, workshops, workbooks, online lessons, curricula, drop-in artmaking hours, and after-school programs with and in all four local school districts.
We seek to empower the artist in every student, giving them lifelong tools to explore and express themselves.

As we enter our 15th year
we’re grateful for all of you who have helped us grow from a scrappy art festival into a mainstay of the upstate New York cultural landscape. Your support has brought world-class contemporary art exhibitions, vitally important education programs, and an internationally respected artist residency to the kind of community that seldom sees this level of cultural investment. Thank you for believing in the continual possibilities of creative community with us, and we can’t wait to welcome you all back to the hamlet throughout 2023 in celebration of everything the Wassaic Project has been, is, and can be.
